2020 Presidents Cup & Sydney Shield

[MountainMan]

11 Asquith guys played in the NSW Cup trial yesterday and North Sydney have signed 19 players this year, so barring injuries, that means about 10 of those guys may be available for selection in RMC and SS each week, so another 21 players available for round 1.

From yesterday, I would say that Jerry Key, Will Solway, Eli Roberts and Mike Pearsall are the most likely, bearing in mind that Curtis Johnston only played yesterday because his SG Ball team had a bye and he will not be available until May.

Key,Solway,Nay,TJ,Manu,Vasek,Place,Johnston,Luke Hodge another probability,Pearsall and Roberts.
My opinion anyway.

 

[rightleftin]

The 11 guys that played for Asquith against Wyong not playing yesterday, presumably because they were in the 12-12 draw between Norths and Newcastle were:

Maniah Rudolph, Epa Navale, Nick O'Meley, Shane Kiel, Jordon Remfrey, Zach Nicholls, Magnus Stromquist, Jacob Giles, Jesse Martin, Ben Gleeson, Ray Lesoa.

then add in say Josh Bergamin, Josh Daley, D'Rhys Miller, Jack Morris, Ben Thomas, John Tuivati from Norths, also Jackson Williams from Asquith and you have 18 players.

Yes I should have included Place as likely, and Nay played a significant number of games last year. Vasek only played a couple of games last year and I would think that Evans Tsoi might be higher on the list as backup hooker after Daley and Nay. Hodge has a bit of size but only played SS and Flegg to date, Johnston not available until May and who is TJ? - I assumed he was one of the 4 that were not good enough for Flegg.

If Manu is zero points he would be selected but what if he is 15 points? At 40 years old he is not as effective as in the past.

Plenty of options.

Was his first game in three years. Needs some more game time. Copped a nasty cut to the inside of the lip which required a trip to hospital which ended his day early.

SS or RMC you think Sharkie?

They also have Sione Hopoate, Riley Travers, Elia Faatui, Braeden Batiste, Jake Beetson and Debraska Rikiriki.

Uele was signed by Glebe Burwood.

Yes TJ Uele is with GB. He suffered a foot injury in the final game of his French stint last year and is on the comeback trail. Hopefully back in the next few weeks.

Is frank playing or coaching?

Frank is coaching the Ron Massey Cup team. I am hearing they are struggling for players. He may have to pull the boots on
